No one has ever been able to solve the mystery of what is haunting the old, sunken pirate ship. And none of the other fish in school believes that amateur detective Fry can solve the mystery either. With encouragement from the audience, and armed with his Deepwater Detective badge and Ocean Floor Trail Guide, Fry sets out on a journey across the ocean to find the ship and what is haunting it.
This shadow puppet show is presented using an overhead projector and includes water effects, scrolling scenery, shadow puppet tricks of the trade, and over 20 colorful puppets. More than just a puppet show, "Fish ’n’ Ships" is a sing along extravaganza of old favorites and some new songs that everyone will enjoy learning. All puppets & scenery are handmade by the puppeteer. The show is followed by an exciting demonstration speech revealing the secrets behind the shadow screen. All questions will be answered, and children will have a chance to take a closer look at the puppets that interest them. Parents are encouraged to sing along with their children. They’ll love it too!
